I Travel by Night and Last Train from Perdition

Robert McCammon

Beschreibung

Two short novels featuring the vampiric gunslinger who seeks vengeance and justice across the Old West, from the New York Times–bestselling master of horror. He was once a husband, father, lawyer, and Civil War soldier. Now he is a vampire struggling to hold onto his last thread of humanity—and to destroy the one who made him. In I Travel by Night, Trevor Lawson handles matters from his lair at the Hotel Sanctuaire in New Orleans. When a prominent lumber man comes to him for help—to find and free his kidnapped daughter—Trevor senses a trap, for the man who signed the ransom note is one he knows too well. Traveling towards a ghost town in the dark of the swamps, Trevor soon finds himself preparing for a final showdown against the purest form of evil in existence: the Dark Society and its bloodthirsty queen. With his new sidekick, Ann Kingsley, Trevor travels to Montana in Last Train from Perdition. When they try to free a young man from an outlaw gang, an innocent woman is caught in the crossfire. To save her life—and bring their captured fugitives to justice—Trevor and Ann take the train to Helena, never expecting the ambush that awaits them. For an army of the undead has gathered in the snowy darkness with a very special surprise for Ann: a reunion with her father and sister, who no longer resemble the humans she once loved. “Perfect for Deadwood fans and those who enjoy the American Vampire graphic-novel series by Scott Snyder. Clear a couple of hours, you’ll want to devour this in one sitting.” —Booklist

Lazarus

Leonid Andreyev

"When Lazarus rose from the grave, after three days and nights in the mysterious thraldom of death, and returned alive to his home, it was a long time before anyone noticed the evil peculiarities in him that were later to make his very name terrible."    One of Andreyev's best-known short stories, "Lazarus" follows the Eastern Orthodox tradition that Lazarus never smiled again, and it explores what happened to the biblical figure after his resurrection from the dead. The unsettling coldness that exudes from the man who cheated death cannot be denied by anyone who meets him. As his notoriety increases, few can resist the chance of an audience with the man who has seen beyond the realms of life, but be they urchin or Emperor, none can stand to be in the presence of Lazarus for long.     "Lazarus", first published in Russian in 1906, deals with themes of faith, mortality and the human condition. This recording is based on a translation by Thomas Seltzer.

Sinners Anonymous - A Forbidden...

Somme Sketcher

Now a top 20 Amazon best seller! 
My fiancé’s nephew knows every sin I’ve ever committed. He’s about to become the deepest and darkest of them all. 
My name is Rory Carter and I do bad things. There’s a charred soul under this angelic exterior and sometimes, I wonder if my weekly confessions to the Sinners Anonymous hotline will be enough to heal it. 
Marrying the 70-something head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father is the only good deed I’ve ever done. I’m burning and bitter under the fake smile and tight dresses, but I was keeping it together. 
Was. Until my fiancé’s nephew turns up to dinner uninvited. 
Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with cheekbones as sharp as his tongue. They say I shouldn’t be scared of him, because nine years ago, he went straight. He’s barely a Made Man anymore. 
But I say, he’s the most dangerous Visconti of all. It’s not just because his cold sneer makes my pulse flutter. Or the way his syrupy drawl trickles down my spine. No. He holds all of my sins in his big, rough hands. And the only sins darker than mine are his own. 
Dark mafia romance, forbidden love, age gap, enemies to lovers. 
*** 
Somme’s notes: 
Sinners Anonymous is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers mafia romance. It can be listened to as a stand-alone but believe me, you'll want to devour it with the rest of the trilogy!

The Captain of Water Street

M.L. Bullock

When a tour guide at a new micro brewery reaches out for their help, Sierra and Joshua are quick to answer the call. A vengeful phantom captain has been wreaking havoc in the establishment, scaring off guests and causing chaos at every turn. The ghost's backstory is steeped in tragedy and heartbreak—the captain was jilted by his lover and took his own life in 1899. 
 
 
 
As Sierra and Joshua lead the investigation, they are joined by an eclectic team of paranormal experts, including painting medium Cassidy Demopolis, healer Jericho, and a mysterious new guy whose past is shrouded in secrecy. 
 
 
 
However, as they delve deeper into the ghost's history, they soon discover that the legend is not entirely accurate. The captain did not commit suicide—he was murdered. With this shocking revelation, Sierra and Joshua find themselves on the trail of a killer who has evaded justice for over a century. 
 
 
 
As the team works to solve the mystery and put the captain's soul to rest, they soon realize that they are not the only ones searching for the truth. A shadowy figure is lurking in the background, determined to stop them at all costs. Will they be able to solve the case before it's too late?

Cracksquatch

Gary Lee Vincent

Bodies stack when Sasquatch is on crack! 
When a popular social media sensation and renowned bigfoot hunter goes missing, her friends pickup on an important clue as to her disappearance when one of them discovers a camera with digital proof of the existence of Bigfoot in the Appalachian Mountains where she and her cameraman went missing a few days earlier. 
Now the hunt is on to find the illusive cryptid and hopefully bring their friend back. As the band of trackers hit the mountain on this ambitious quest, one of the team harbors a dark secret. Little do the others know that one of them is addicted to a deadly synthetically altered version of crack, known on the street as Agent Orange, because it both looks like orange candy and turns its users’ eyes a hellish orange color. 
What makes the drug so nefarious, however is that it causes a high number of its users to become enraged; prone to fits of uncontrollable violence. These violent episodes are enhanced when consumed by animals, where they have no civilized willpower against becoming raging killers themselves, attacking anything – and anyone – in their path! 
Consequently, this expedition to the mountains will become an expedition to hell itself once the team realizes that not only are they about to find the ever-so-sought-after and (believed to be) beloved Bigfoot, but now are dealing with a raging, psychopathic Sasquatch, who has gotten ahold of the dangerous drug. 
Warning: this book contains language and literary depictions of scenes some readers may find offensive. It is not intended for children. Reader discretion is advised.
